[0:00] The next three guys I have coming on, they have a podcast.
S1
[0:07] It's really funny.
[0:18] Wow.
Dan McCoy
[0:20] They had our theme music and everything.
[0:22] Yeah.
S1
[0:22] We just don't sue us.
[0:27] So.
[0:29] Do you guys want to go through your names and everything together?
[0:35] Let's start with the fine gentleman at the end.
[0:38] Not Mitch.
[0:38] Wow.
[0:39] Fine gentleman.
[0:40] I'm Dan McCoy.
[0:42] I'm Stuart Willinkum.
[0:43] My name is Elliot Kalin.
[0:45] And these are the Flophouse, ladies and gentlemen.
[0:50] One of the long-time staples of the show is that we do talk about notoriously bad movies
[0:56] and a lot of the current crap that's coming out of Hollywood now
[0:59] is really infuriating.
[1:01] So I always feel like it's a good time to poke holes in it.
[1:04] And I think one of the things, and you guys believe too,
[1:06] is that the horror movie genre has been going down the tubes.
[1:10] Yes.
[1:11] I think one of the things I don't, I'm not a really big fan of it.
[1:14] Oh, by the way, like a candy bar that may contain nuts,
[1:18] this may contain spoilers.
Dan McCoy
[1:22] So if you're allergic to spoilers, I guess, avoid this part of the show.
[1:26] This was produced in a factory that may have also produced spoilers.
Elliott Kalan
[1:31] What's the accepted amount of inside parts or rat feces in these questions?
S1
[1:37] So my question...
[1:39] I noticed you didn't answer that.
Dan McCoy
[1:42] I'm suddenly terrified due to the underscoring that's going on.
S1
[1:47] I couldn't quite comprehend because my mind is so small, what you just said.
[1:53] Oh, that's okay.
[1:54] Okay.
[1:55] So my initial question is the Saw movies that are coming out.
[2:00] I was wondering how many movies is it going to take for Saw to follow the Jason trend
[2:05] that it will be in space?
Elliott Kalan
[2:08] Wow.
[2:08] Saw in space.
[2:10] Yeah, sure.
[2:11] I think you've just sold a million dollars.
[2:15] There's some way to include a carnival and high school musicals.
Dan McCoy
[2:21] Well, Saw has to go to the hood before he can go to space.
[2:24] Yeah.
[2:25] It's like the chain horse.
[2:26] Yeah.
[2:28] First you go to the hood, then you go somewhere else, then you go back to the hood.
S1
[2:32] Then you go to Vegas.
Elliott Kalan
[2:33] None of them go to the Old West, which is what I want to see.
[2:35] Saw in the Old West would be interesting, though, because he's going to have to construct
[2:39] all his traps out of things that were available at the time.
[2:42] Yeah.
Dan McCoy
[2:44] It would be much like the traditional Rube Goldberg track.
[2:47] Right, right.
S1
[2:48] There's a candle that goes through a string and the canary dies or something.
Dan McCoy
[2:52] Yeah, life's hard enough back then as it is.
[2:55] I mean, you don't really need a trap.
[2:58] Yeah.
[2:58] If the Oregon Trail has taught us nothing else, people are going to die whether or not Saw's
[3:04] going.
[3:04] And also that it's fun to shoot more bison than you can carry.
S1
[3:10] I don't like the Saw movie because I feel like you lost the face of a killer kind of thing.
[3:15] Because in Jason and Freddy, you had an identifying person who was murdering you.
[3:20] Yeah, it's very easy to identify with Jason.
[3:22] A man who has no personality, does not talk, and no face.
[3:27] But Saw just seems to be about just how elaborate they are going to kill you versus...
Dan McCoy
[3:32] Well, you've got to imagine Saw spent a lot of time with his paper mache making that mask.
[3:37] You know, I think that humanizes him.
[3:39] He's like a fifth grader.
Elliott Kalan
[3:40] I would say what you're getting at is Saw is the thinking man's movie, and say Friday the
[3:45] 13th, Nightmare on Elstrader are the feeling man's movies.
[3:47] Yes.
[3:48] Because there's someone you can identify with.
[3:50] Yeah.
Dan McCoy
[3:50] Wait, isn't it that little puppet that's killing everybody in those tall movies?
[3:53] What's going on?
Elliott Kalan
[3:54] I don't understand.
[3:55] I think you're thinking of The Game with Michael Douglas.
[4:00] Oh my god, that's what happened?
S1
[4:02] Well, as far as you know, yes.
[4:04] You can only really see The Game once, by the way.
[4:08] I don't know.
[4:08] Has anyone ever seen The Game?
[4:09] Maybe your tape is broken.
Dan McCoy
[4:15] No, I think it will prove you wrong.
[4:17] We have the DVD of The Game in our pocket.
[4:20] We will prove it after the show.
S1
[4:23] What are some of your favorite horror movies that you really like?
[4:29] The ones that you think are the best?
[4:31] I mean, aside from, I have to say, The Shining is kind of the stand-by horror movie to say
[4:36] is the best.
Dan McCoy
[4:37] Well, I'm a big fan of the horror comedy, which is why I'm sort of glad that Zombieland
[4:42] has actually been successful this last weekend, because historically, the horror comedy, America
[4:48] is like, what the fuck's this?
[4:49] I don't like to laugh while I'm getting scared, but I love An American Wild from London.
S1
[4:53] I, I, I, yeah, that's a pretty great one, yeah.
[4:56] It's got a lot of great comedic elements to it, and, uh, it's got a great, yeah.
[5:00] It delivers everything the title promises.
[5:02] Yeah.
[5:05] For that alone.
[5:06] That transformation scene is goddamn freaky as hell.
[5:12] He asked us what our favorite movie is.
[5:14] I wish, uh, did you know about the movie, uh, Unborn?
[5:21] Oh yeah, we just watched that.
[5:22] Yeah, that's the most recent, uh, podcast.
Elliott Kalan
[5:24] Uh, oh, you did?
[5:25] Okay.
S1
[5:25] Uh, Unborn, uh, yeah, I wish, the movie doesn't play up any Jewish, like, characteristics in any
[5:32] of the characters.
[5:33] I think that would have...
[5:34] Well, the, the only Jewish character in it is played by Gary Oldman.
Dan McCoy
[5:37] I think that there was a, uh, movie executive who was like, I don't play the, uh, I hear
[5:41] J-whore is really big right now.
[5:43] And they misunderstood it.
[5:45] You know, they were on J-dates.
[5:46] They thought it was like Jewish horror.
[5:47] Same thing.
[5:47] Yeah, Jewish horror.
[5:48] Oh my.
[5:49] Uh, I think, Stuart, I feel like you're getting shortchanged.
S1
[5:52] Like, even though there are potentially two microphones on you at any time.
[5:56] I don't even know what's going on.
[5:57] Uh, I would have thought Larry David would have been a better rabbi in the movie, but
[6:02] I think that would have been more...
[6:04] They had many more problems with the movie than who do to play the rabbi.
Dan McCoy
[6:09] Yeah, I think that the fact that Gary Oldman agreed to be in the movie was not the problem
[6:12] with the movie.
S1
[6:14] Um, uh, my, one of my fantasies is to see Donald Trump.
[6:18] Did Iceman do a horror movie?
[6:20] Uh, I think that was...
[6:22] I think it's happened.
[6:23] I mean, it wasn't called a horror movie.
[6:25] The adventures of Ford Fairley.
Elliott Kalan
[6:27] We're all familiar with that.
[6:28] Um, Stuart?
[6:30] I'm familiar with that.
[6:32] Well, he should make a movie called Diceman.
[6:34] And it's like Candyman, but he kills people with games of chance.
[6:39] Does Candyman kill people with candy?
[6:41] I have to.
[6:42] Not in the movie, but in his spare time, I have to assume.
[6:44] Like, how did he get the name otherwise?
[6:46] Yeah.
[6:47] Yeah.
Dan McCoy
[6:48] Um...
[6:49] He's just a fan of the game Candyland.
[6:51] That's what he does.
[6:52] Then they would call him Candyland Man.
[6:56] That's a fair point.
S1
[6:58] You have me.
[7:00] Uh, Stuart, do you have a recommendation for your all-time favorite horror movie?
[7:04] Um, uh...
[7:05] It's like giving me to a tiny press conference.
Dan McCoy
[7:11] I was planning on recommending the Saw movies.
[7:14] I just don't know what to say anymore.
[7:17] So, I guess it's Ellie's favorite.
S1
[7:18] I like the...
[7:18] I think the first three are the best.
[7:20] But the last ones I've seen, they kind of repeat just, like, flashback information.
[7:24] I actually don't like those movies.
[7:25] They're not very good.
Dan McCoy
[7:26] Uh, I don't know.
[7:28] Um, I...
[7:30] A movie I'd like to recommend is a movie called Killing Spree, starring a guy named Asbestos
[7:34] Felt.
[7:35] Uh, who gets mad because he thinks his wife's cheating on him.
[7:38] And kills a bunch of people.
[7:39] And then they come back from the dead and kill him.
S1
[7:42] Nice!
[7:43] Good movie.
[7:43] What is it?
[7:44] It's called, uh...
Dan McCoy
[7:44] Killing Spree, starring Asbestos Felt.
[7:47] Now, I have to assume that's his given name.
[7:50] Asbestos Felt.
[7:51] His Christian name, yes.
Elliott Kalan
[7:53] Uh, uh, Ellie, did any...
[7:55] Uh, I have a, uh, soft spot in my heart for, uh, uh, recent...
[8:00] I mean, I'm not talking about, like, 30s horror movies or anything like that.
[8:03] Uh, yeah, sure.
[8:04] Well, we don't listen up.
[8:05] Let's talk, say things that people are gonna actually go see.
[8:08] Maybe.
[8:09] Uh, uh, soft spot in my heart.
[8:10] Wow, wow.
[8:11] Wade Andres, my door.
S1
[8:14] Uh...
[8:14] These rubes.
Elliott Kalan
[8:16] Ouch.
[8:16] No, I'm sorry.
[8:17] Well...
[8:17] I love you guys.
[8:19] Uh...
[8:19] Uh...
[8:20] But, uh, John Carpenter's In the Mouth of Madness.
[8:23] I've always had a soft spot for it.
[8:24] It's not a perfect movie.
[8:26] But, uh...
[8:27] He has nails in it.
[8:28] But, yes, Sam Neill is in it.
[8:29] Sam Neill's really good.
[8:30] Yeah.
[8:30] Jürgen Prochnow's in it, right?
[8:32] Yes, Jürgen Prochnow is also in it.
[8:34] Okay, keep talking.
Dan McCoy
[8:35] Stuart just likes, uh, movies with people with strange names.
[8:38] Jürgen Prochnow.
[8:40] He just enjoys saying it.
Elliott Kalan
[8:42] Uh, but that one is, uh, it's a thinker.
[8:45] Yeah.
[8:45] But there's also, you know, scare effects and monsters and things.
[8:48] Nice.
[8:48] It's basically the story H.P. Lovecraft should have written for the screen.
[8:53] But he didn't, because he died long before he had that chance.
S1
[8:57] Great.
[8:57] Uh, well, I'm sorry we have to move on, guys.
[8:59] Um, but, uh, ladies and gentlemen of Blophouse!
[9:02] Woo!
[9:02] Woo!
[9:03] Woo!
[9:03] Woo!
[9:04] Uh...
[9:04] Should we...
[9:07] Uh, you can...
[9:08] Would you guys want to stick around on stage, though, while the Blophouse sisters, uh,
[9:13] perform?
[9:13] Sure.
[9:13] Blophouse sisters?
[9:14] Uh, great.
[9:16] This is a very comfortable couch.
[9:17] Yeah, thank you.
[9:18] I'm glad that you're, uh, we have a big family here tonight.
